Body Central Corp. (herein “we”, “our”, “us” or the “Company”) derives many of its forward-looking statements from its operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. For the discussion of these risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in our forward-looking statements, please refer to “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

BODY CENTRAL CORP.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

1.                            Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Business and Organization

 

Body Central Corp. (the ‘‘Company’’) is a specialty retailer of young women’s apparel and accessories operating retail stores in the South, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions of the United States. We operate specialty apparel stores under the Body Central and Body Shop banners, as well as a direct business comprised of our Body Central catalog and our e-commerce website at www.bodyc.com.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC.

 

Fiscal Year

 

The Company’s fiscal year is the fifty-two or fifty-three weeks ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. As used herein, the interim periods presented are the thirteen week and thirty-nine week periods ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to inventory valuation, property and equipment, recoverability of long-lived assets, including intangible assets, income taxes and stock-based compensation.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has established guidance for reporting information about a company’s operating segments, including disclosures related to a company’s products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company has aggregated its net revenues generated from its retail stores and its direct business into one operating segment. The Company aggregates its operating segments because they have a similar class of customer, nature of products, nature of production process and distribution methods as well as similar economic characteristics. The Company has no international sales. All of the Company’s identifiable assets are in the United States.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are comprised principally of women’s apparel and accessories and are stated at the lower of cost or market, on a first-in-first-out basis, using the retail inventory method. Included in the carrying value of merchandise inventory, and reflected in cost of goods sold, is a reserve for shrinkage which is accrued between physical inventory dates as a percentage of sales based on historical inventory results.

 

8



Table of Contents

 

The Company reviews its inventory levels to identify slow-moving merchandise and generally uses markdowns to clear this merchandise. The Company records a markdown reserve based on estimated future markdowns related to current inventory to clear slow-moving inventory. These markdowns may have an adverse impact on earnings, depending on the extent and amount of inventory affected. The markdown reserve is recorded as an increase to cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

New Accounting Standards

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASC) 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. The new guidance requires disclosures of transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements, including a description of the reason for the transfer. The new guidance also calls for disclosures about the activity in Level 3 measurements by separately presenting information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis rather than a single net number. The guidance also clarifies 1) the level of disaggregation that should be used in completing disclosures about fair value measurements and 2) the disclosures required in describing the inputs and valuation techniques used for both nonrecurring and recurring fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the new disclosures regarding the activity in Level 3 measurements, which became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which amends ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. The amended guidance requires most entities present changes in net income and other comprehensive income in either a single statement of comprehensive income or two separate, but consecutive, statements. The objective of these amendments is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

 

In September 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”) intended to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. This update permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. This ASU becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company has opted for an early adoption of this ASU.  The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

 

Reclassification

 

A reclassification has been made to the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 Consolidated Financial Statements in order to conform to the presentation for the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011.

 

2.                            Financial Instruments

 

The FASB-issued guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value that is based on the inputs market participants use to determine fair value of an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize those inputs. The guidance under this statement describes a hierarchy of three levels of input that may be used to measure fair value:

 

9



Table of Contents

 

·                       Level 1 — Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

·                       Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

·                       Level 3 — Unobservable inputs based on little market or no market activity and which are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities.

 

The Company’s material financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are equal to their carrying values based on their liquidity.

 

The Company repaid all amounts owed under the term loan facilities of its senior credit facility on October 20, 2010, using proceeds from the Company’s initial public offering.  The term loans were repaid at carrying value.

 

The Company has determined the estimated fair value amounts of its financial instruments using available market information. The assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following:

Money market securities, which are short-term investments of excess cash, are classified as cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

3.                            Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes is based on the current estimate of the annual effective tax rate and is adjusted as necessary for discrete events occurring in a particular period. The effective income tax rate was 39.4% and 38.6% for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, respectively, and 37.7% and 37.6% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, respectively.  The increase in the effective tax rate for the thirteen-week period ended October 1, 2011 was primarily due to a permanent true up of the 2010 federal and state income tax returns as filed, compared to the estimated tax provision.

 

The Company recognizes income tax liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, guidance related to uncertain tax positions, and adjusts these liabilities when its judgment changes as the result of the evaluation of new

information. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to the unrecognized tax benefits recorded at the balance sheet date within the next twelve months. The Company did not have any uncertain tax provisions recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010.

On May 25, 2011, the Company amended and restated the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to reduce its total number of authorized shares of common stock to 45 million shares, par value $0.001 per share.

 

On February 16, 2011, the Company completed a secondary offering of 5,703,764 shares of common stock priced at $16.50 per share.  The Company sold 100,000 new shares of its common stock in the offering, and selling shareholders sold 5,603,764 shares of common stock in the offering which included all of the 743,969 shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option.  The offering raised net proceeds of $1.1 million for the Company, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses paid by the Company.  The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the over-allotment shares by the selling stockholders.

Stock-Based Compensation Plan

 

On March 22, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment and restatement of the Company’s Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Plan (the “Plan”).  On May 25, 2011, the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement to the Plan.  The amended and restated Plan permits up to 250,000 of the remaining 1,240,751 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance as of October 1, 2011 under the Plan to be issued in the form of restricted stock awards and will allow certain awards under the Plan to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, if the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors chooses to qualify the awards in other respects.

 

For long-term incentives, the Company’s Board of Directors established an annual equity grant protocol that resulted in an initial grant effective as of September 16, 2011.  The Committee’s initial long-term incentive awards granted to certain executives were roughly two-thirds stock options and one-third time-vested restricted stock.  The stock options and restricted stock will vest over a four-year period.

 

Stock-based compensation expense of $734,000 and $356,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, respectively, is included in selling, general and administrative expenses and cost of goods sold on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company did not capitalize any expense related to stock-based compensation.

 

Option Awards

 

The fair value of each option grant for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011 was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

Expected option term (1)

 

6.25 years

Expected volatility factor (2)

 

66.1%

Risk-free interest rate (3)

 

1.5%

Expected annual dividend yield

 

0%

 


(1)   Since there was not sufficient historical information for grants with similar terms, the simplified or “plain-vanilla” method of estimating option life was utilized.

 

(2)   The stock volatility for each grant is measured using the weighted average of historical weekly price changes of certain peer companies’ common stock over the most recent period equal to the expected option life of the grant.

 

(3)   The risk-free interest rate for periods equal to the expected term of the share option is based on the rate of U.S. Treasury securities with the same term as the option as of the grant date.

As part of the Company’s initial public offering on October 14, 2010, the Company’s convertible Series A and Series B preferred stock were converted to 11,869,109 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Equity awards to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock for the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011, were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of weighted average diluted common share amounts as the effect of doing so would have been anti-dilutive.  All outstanding equity awards to purchase common stock were included in the computation of weighted average diluted common shares amounts for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended October 2, 2010.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the consolidated operating results, financial condition, liquidity, and cash flows of our Company as of and for the periods presented below. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011, filed with the SEC, and our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included herein. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on the beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Overview

 

Founded in 1972, Body Central Corp. is a specialty retailer offering on-trend, quality apparel and accessories at value prices. We operate specialty apparel stores under the Body Central and Body Shop banners, as well as a direct business comprised of our Body Central catalog and our e-commerce website at www.bodyc.com. We target women in their late teens and twenties from diverse cultural backgrounds, who seek the latest fashions and a flattering fit. Our stores feature an assortment of tops, dresses, bottoms, jewelry, accessories and shoes sold primarily under our exclusive Body Central® and Lipstick® labels. We continually update our merchandise and floor sets with an emphasis on coordinated outfits presented by lifestyle to give our customers a reason to shop our stores frequently. We believe our multi-channel strategy supports our brand building efforts and provides us with synergistic growth opportunities across all of our sales channels.

 

Our stores are located in fashion retail venues in the South, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions of the United States. In the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2011, we opened five stores and closed none.  As of October 1, 2011, we had 226 stores with an average size of approximately 4,311 square feet.

 

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business

 

In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of operational and financial measures. We believe that the key measures for determining how our business is performing are net revenues, comparable store and non-comparable store sales, direct sales through our catalog and e-commerce channels, gross profit margin and selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

Net Revenues

 

Net revenues consist of sales of our merchandise from our stores and direct sales through our catalog and e-commerce channels, including shipping and handling fees charged to our customers. Net revenues from our stores and direct business reflect sales of our merchandise less estimated returns and merchandise discounts.

 

Store Sales

 

We calculate ‘‘comparable’’ or ‘‘same store’’ sales by including a store in comparable store sales on the first day of the fourteenth month after a store opens. Non-comparable store sales include sales not included in comparable store sales (for example, the first two months of a new store’s sales) and sales from closed stores. Measuring the change in year-over-year comparable store sales allows us to evaluate how our store base is performing. Various factors affect comparable store sales, including:

 

·     consumer preferences, buying trends and overall economic trends;

 

·     our ability to identify and respond effectively to fashion trends and customer preferences;

 

15



Table of Contents

 

·     changes in competition;

 

·     changes in our merchandise mix;

 

·     changes in pricing levels and average unit price;

 

·     the timing of our releases of new merchandise;

 

·     the level of customer service that we provide in our stores;

 

·     our ability to source and distribute products efficiently; and

 

·     the number of stores we open and close in any period.

 

Opening new stores is an important part of our growth strategy. We expect a significant percentage of our net revenues to come from non-comparable store sales. Accordingly, comparable store sales is only one element we use to assess the success of our growth strategy.

 

Direct Sales

 

We offer direct sales through our catalogs and through our e-commerce website, www.bodyc.com, which accepts orders directly from our customers. We believe the circulation of our catalogs and access to our website increases our reputation and brand recognition with our target customers and helps support the strength of our store operations.  We define revenue per catalog as direct sales divided by the number of catalogs circulated.  Direct sales are not included in our comparable store sales.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit is equal to our net revenues minus our cost of goods sold. Gross profit margin measures gross profit as a percentage of our net revenues. Cost of goods sold includes the direct cost of purchased merchandise, distribution costs, all freight costs incurred to ship merchandise to our stores and our direct customers, costs incurred to produce and distribute our catalogs, store occupancy costs, buying costs and inventory shrinkage. The components of our cost of goods sold may not be comparable to those of other retailers.

 

Our cost of goods sold is greater in higher volume periods because cost of goods sold generally increases as net revenues increase. Changes in the mix of our products, such as changes in the proportion of accessories, may also impact our cost of goods sold. We review our inventory levels on an ongoing basis in order to identify slow-moving merchandise and take appropriate markdowns to clear these goods. The timing and level of markdowns are not seasonal in nature, but are driven by customer acceptance of our merchandise. If we misjudge sales levels and/or trends, we may be faced with excess inventories and be required to mark down our prices for those products in order to sell them.  The Company records a markdown reserve based on estimated future markdowns related to current inventory to clear slow-moving inventory.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses include all operating costs not included in cost of goods sold. These expenses include payroll and other expenses related to operations at our corporate headquarters and store operations. These expenses generally do not vary proportionally with net revenues. As a result, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues are usually higher in lower volume periods and usually lower in higher volume periods. The components of our selling, general and administrative expenses may not be comparable to those of

 

16



Table of Contents

 

other retailers. We expect that our selling, general and administrative expenses will increase in future periods due to our continuing store growth, continuing growth in our direct business and, in part, due to additional legal, accounting, insurance and other expenses that we continue to incur as a result of becoming a public company.

Net revenues increased by $10.2 million, or 17.9%, for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2011, as compared to the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010.

 

Store sales increased $10.7 million, or 21.2%, for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2011, as compared to the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010. The increase in store sales was primarily a result of 22 new store openings since October 2, 2010. Comparable store sales increased $4.0 million, or 8.2%, for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2011, compared to an increase of 17.6% for the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010. Non-comparable store sales increased $6.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2011, compared to the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010. There were 194 comparable stores and 32 non-comparable stores open during the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2011.

 

Direct sales, including shipping and handling fees, from our direct business decreased $507,000, or 7.7%, for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2011, as compared to the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010.  Direct sales were down primarily due to reduced distribution of catalogs, reduced revenue per catalog and the delayed distribution of our August 2011 catalog.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit increased $4.4 million, or 23.9%, for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2011 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010.  As a percentage of net revenues, gross profit margin increased by 160 basis points for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2011 from the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010.  This increase was attributable to a 90 basis point increase in the

merchandise margin and a 70 basis point decrease in freight costs, store occupancy, distribution and buying costs as a percentage of net revenues.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.5 million, or 18.0%, for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2011 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010. This increase resulted in part from a $1.4 million increase in store operating expenses driven primarily by our new store unit growth. As a percentage of net revenues, store operating expenses decreased to 17.9% for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2011 as compared to 18.6% for the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010.

 

General and administrative expenses increased $1.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2011 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010 due in part to severance benefits to former employees, compensation expenses for new positions and additional stock-based compensation from equity grants. As a percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to 6.8% for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2011 as compared to 6.1% for the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010.

 

As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses remained unchanged at 24.7% for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2011 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010.  Selling, general and administrative expenses remained at a constant 24.7% of net revenues as a function of the increased expenses indicated above.

 

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $104,000, or 8.4%, for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2011 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010.   This increase was primarily due to capital expenditures from new store construction and upgrades to our information technology systems.  As a percentage of net revenues, depreciation and amortization expense decreased 20 basis points for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2011 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010.

 

Interest (Income) Expense, Net

 

Net interest income for the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010 was $2,000.  Net interest expense for the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010 was $794,000.  In October 2010, we repaid all amounts owed under the term loan of our senior credit facility using net proceeds from our initial public offering and subsequently terminated the facility.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

Provision for income taxes increased $1.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2011 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010, which was attributable to a $2.5 million increase in income before income taxes and an 80 basis point increase in the effective tax rate to 39.4% in the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2011 from 38.6% in the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010.

Net Revenues

 

Net revenues increased by $39.5 million, or 22.4%, for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011, as compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010.

 

Store sales increased $39.9 million, or 26.8%, for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011, as compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010. The increase in store sales resulted from the increase in comparable store sales and 22 new store openings since October 2, 2010.  Comparable store sales increased $18.3 million, or 13.0%, for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011, compared to an increase of 14.8% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010. Non-comparable store sales increased $21.6 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011, compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010. There were 182 comparable stores and 44 non-comparable stores open during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011.

 

Direct sales, including shipping and handling fees, from our direct business decreased $420,000, or 1.5%, for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011, as compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010.  This decrease was primarily due to reduced revenue per catalog and the delayed distribution of our August 2011 catalog.

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit increased $17.4 million, or 30.0%, for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011 as compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010.  As a percentage of net revenues, gross profit margin increased by 200 basis points for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011 as compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010.   This increase was attributable to a 180 basis point decrease in freight costs, store occupancy, distribution and buying costs as a percentage of net revenues and a 20 basis point increase in merchandise margin.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $9.3 million, or 22.9%, for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011 as compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010. This increase resulted in part from a $5.0 million increase in store operating expenses due primarily to our new store growth. As a percentage of net revenues, store operating expenses decreased to 16.5% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011 as compared to 17.3% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010.

 

General and administrative expenses increased $4.3 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011 as compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 due in part to increased incentive provisions tied to performance, professional fees related to being a public company, information technology expenses associated with enhancing the functionality of our recently upgraded systems which support our direct business and our point-of-sale software system, compensation expenses for new positions, severance benefits for former employees and additional stock-based compensation from equity grants.  As a percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to 6.7% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011 as compared to 5.8% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010.

 

As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 23.2% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011 and 23.1% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 due to reasons discussed above.

 

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $305,000, or 8.7%, for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011 as compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010.   This increase was primarily due to capital expenditures from new store construction and upgrades to our information technology systems.  As a percentage of net revenues, depreciation and amortization expense decreased 20 basis points for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011 as compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010.

 

Interest (Income) Expense, Net

 

Net interest income for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2011 was $14,000.  Net interest expense for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 was $2.6 million.  In October 2010, we repaid all amounts owed under the term loan of our senior credit facility using net proceeds from our initial public offering and subsequently terminated the facility.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

Provision for income taxes increased $4.0 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011 as compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010, which was attributable to a $10.5 million increase in income before income taxes and an increase in the effective tax rate of ten basis points to 37.7% in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011 from 37.6% in the thirty-nine weeks ended

Net Income

 

Net income increased $6.5 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011 as compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 due to the factors discussed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary source of liquidity is currently cash flows from operations. Our primary cash needs are for capital expenditures in connection with opening new stores, remodeling or relocating existing stores, distributing our catalogs, operating our website and the additional working capital required for running our operations. Cash is also required for investment in our information technology systems, maintenance of existing facilities and distribution facility enhancements, when required. The most significant components of our working capital are cash and cash equivalents, merchandise inventories, trade accounts payable and other current liabilities. Our working capital position benefits from the fact that we generally collect cash from sales to customers the same day or, in the case of credit or debit card transactions, within several days of the related sale, and we typically have up to 60 days to pay our merchandise vendors, depending on the applicable vendor terms.

 

Our cash and cash equivalents balance increased $15.5 million to $31.7 million as of October 1, 2011, from $16.2 million as of January 1, 2011. Components of this change in cash for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011, as well as the change for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010, are provided below in more detail.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $6.6 million to $17.4 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011 as compared to $10.8 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010. This increase was attributable to a $6.5 million increase in net income offset by a $1.6 million increase in our requirements for inventory, net of merchandise accounts payable, and a $1.7 million decrease in our other working capital requirements and non-cash charges. The increase in our cash requirements for inventory, net of merchandise accounts payable, was principally due to the increase in the number of stores.

 

Investing Activities

 

Investing activities consist primarily of capital expenditures for new and existing stores, as well as our investment in information technology:

For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2011, capital expenditures decreased $41,000 as compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010.  This decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in capital expenditures related to upgrading our information technology systems, partially offset by higher per store construction costs. The higher per store construction costs are partially offset by increased tenant allowances.

 

Financing Activities

 

Financing activities have historically consisted of borrowings and payments on our senior credit facility.  We repaid all amounts owed on our senior credit facility in October 2010 using net proceeds from our initial public offering and subsequently terminated the facility.

On February 16, 2011, we completed a secondary offering of 5,703,764 shares of our common stock priced at $16.50 per share.  We sold 100,000 new shares of common stock in the offering, and the selling shareholders sold 5,603,764 shares in the offering, including 743,969 shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option.  The offering raised net proceeds of $1.1 million for the Company, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses paid by us.  In the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010, we paid $3.7 million of scheduled quarterly principal repayments on our senior credit facility in addition to an additional $3.0 million principle repayment based on our operating results for fiscal year 2009.

 

Senior Credit Facility

 

We are in negotiations for a one-year, $5 million senior secured revolving credit facility which includes an option by us to expand the facility up to $20 million.  Interest is expected to accrue based upon a reference index rate plus a fixed margin and have prevailing market terms and conditions.  We anticipate this senior secured revolving credit facility will be effective in fiscal year 2011. There is no guarantee that such a facility will be entered into on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

 

Outlook

 

Our short-term and long-term liquidity needs arise primarily from capital expenditures associated with our growth strategy and working capital requirements. We believe that our cash position and net cash provided by operating activities will be adequate to finance our working capital needs and planned capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.  Planned capital expenditures include expenditures for new stores, relocation of and maintenance of existing stores, maintenance of corporate facilities, and investments in information technology systems, which includes investing in and upgrading several of our systems to provide improved support of our current operations and position us for future growth.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We are not a party to any off balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Management has determined that our most critical accounting policies are those related to revenue recognition, inventory valuation, property and equipment, net, impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill, income taxes and stock-based compensation. We continue to monitor our accounting policies to ensure proper application of current rules and regulations. There have been no significant changes to these policies discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011.

ITEM 3.

 

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

If we enter into an anticipated senior secured revolving credit facility and actually draw down on such facility, our principal market risk will relate to interest rate sensitivity, which is the risk that future changes in interest rates will reduce our net income or net assets.

Table of Contents

 

We source from U.S. vendors which place orders and supply merchandise to us from both U.S. manufacturers and foreign manufacturers.  We contract for and settle all purchases in U.S. dollars. Thus, we consider the effect of currency rate changes to be indirect and we believe the effect of a major shift in currency exchange rates on short-term results would not materially affect our results of operations or cash flows. Over a longer period, the cumulative year-to-year impact of such changes could be significant, albeit indirectly, through increased charges in U.S. dollars from our vendors that source their products internationally.
